Abstract
Two years ago, the Object Management Group (OMG) adopted a new standard method named Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) for web engineering domain. IFML is designed to express the content, user interaction, and control behavior of the front end of applications. There are number lacks in web engineering methods, because each of them is defined to particular specifications, one of which is the open issue of supporting the whole lifecycle in process development. In this paper, we analyze IFML models in the process development lifecycle to show capability of the method used in the process development. We then make a comparison between IFML and other methods in lifecycle phases. Finally, we add IFML to the web engineering lifecycle’s map. It is anticipated that the result of this paper will be to become a guide for developers for using IFML in the development of new applications.
Highlights
Model Driven Web Engineering (MDWE) methods such as WebML [1], UWE [2] or OOHDM [3] have become mature solutions for developing Web Applications
We analyzed the actions of Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) in the process development life cycle
Results showed that IFML is a good method with best practice but cannot fully support the web development lifecycle
Summary
Model Driven Web Engineering (MDWE) methods such as WebML [1], UWE [2] or OOHDM [3] have become mature solutions for developing Web Applications. The advantages of engaging MDWE are evident from diverse perceptions like software quality, team output or adjustment to improving technologies [13,14] Of these diverse MDWE methods, it is worth describing the IFML [15], an object management group condition for the establishment of data-intensive utilization becoming a key reference within the industry growth [16,17]. We will analyze IFML in respect to process development web applications This will involve demonstrating the capability of IFML to support whole phases of web engineering in a lifecycle to determine IFML’s location in the lifecycle map. We present some concluding remarks and suggestions for future research
